Custom adventures
From two days to a week or more in the Yukon backcountry: your own team, wilderness camps and nights under the northern lights. Each expedition is designed with you.
On a day trip you discover the sled. On an expedition, you become a musher. You harness your own team every morning, run all day through the backcountry and stop for lunch, for photos, for the dogs. Day after day your skills grow, and so does the distance between you and the last road.
Wolf tracks and moose are common companions along the trail. Each evening ends at a warm camp, with a hot meal cooked by your guide and, on clear nights, the northern lights above the spruce. The route is chosen with you and adapted to snow, ice and weather.
Warm breakfast at camp, then harnessing your own team. You learn to pack and balance your sled.
A full day in the backcountry, with stops for lunch, photos and the dogs. You take turns leading and learn to read the trail.
Your guides set up camp in heated winter tents (up to 4 guests and 2 guides each) and cook a hot meal. On clear nights, the aurora; sometimes, the howl of wolves.
The final miles at your own pace, back to base, then the drive back to downtown Whitehorse.
The shortest way to live the real thing: one night at a wilderness camp. See the tour →
When mushing becomes a rhythm, with two nights out and a full day deep in the backcountry. See the tour →
A true expedition, made for beginners: four nights out and excellent chances for the aurora.
Leave roads and cabins behind for the most remote country we can reach that winter.
No. Our expeditions are designed for beginners: you learn to drive and care for your team from the first morning, and your skills grow every day.
In heated winter tents set up at wilderness camps, each accommodating up to 4 guests and 2 guides, with hot meals and all the camping gear provided.
From January to early April. February and March bring longer days and are often the most comfortable months for longer trips.
Nothing is ever guaranteed, but every clear night out is a chance. The more nights you spend in the wilderness, the better your odds.
The return transfer from downtown Whitehorse (included in the price), an experienced guide, your own dog team, all meals and hot drinks on the trail, and camping gear. Winter clothing can be rented in Whitehorse.
